Re: When feeding goes wrong!

I didn't realize people held bags so close to their enclosures lol. I have a little shelf I pull the mouse out and then open the tank.

It really is amazing how fast they can strike. All's well that ends well.

I want particularly close and I won't be doing it again!

All good experience though and a learning opportunity.

My biggest concern was not knowing the snake yet so I could not begin to predict how she would react but by and large so long as the end with the bitey but full of sharp things was kept under control I was pretty confident I'd be ok.

It's a good example of why two people should be present with large snakes though. No way I could have done it safely if it was a 10'+ animal.

Eh, one of those embarrassing stories we all have but some people aren't honest enough to post about them in fear of ruining their "forum cred" lol. Appreciate the fun story!

Mistakes are what we learn from! I'm always happy to admit and share mine if it helps prevent someone else from doing the same.
